Today, I found out the worse news in my history of bonding with people online in 11 years. One of my online pals over on MOG passed away. I had no idea. I just checked my account today and peeped over to him and saw the news. This is really distressing and sad to me. He was young too!
Here is the official post of the news from the founder
of MOG, David Hyman:

Please let your family and friends know what communities you are in online.
I am pretty much screwed in that respect because my family does not know where I am online so I am making a list for them; however they do not understand how to use the internet that is why I pray that ANYONE who reads this blog to make a list of everywhere you are online,
and that your name and password is put it away in a safe place for family.
This is my account's recent post:

I find that very odd that Rhian Benson's song, Spirit, weighed heavily on me last night and to find out about
Crash Pryor's passing. God does talk to you in various ways if you allow Him too.

Blogger Anil Dash made a wonderful entry about how you can keep up with where you are online.

I highly advise though where ever you have your main blog to put information about where you are online. I have attempted to do that so I know for me it is not hard to find out where. Also, if you are a graduate of any school, program or vice versa, just make your presence known so people know where you are because people do care if you allow them too.
Though I know there are many privacy issues involved in allowing people to know where you are online at least let your family know so they can choose whether or not to share the information. However, if you are active in different online communities please make a list of them in handwriting and keep that list next to your computer with your screen name so that if anything happens, your friends may be informed.
Please be safe in blog land!!
Please be safe and cautious about the relationships you establish online. We are REAL people who have
feelings so just know that people care and try to be there if you allow them too. But, please be cautious.
Do not TELL everything about yourself. I am just glad to know that at least CrashPryor had family to handle
his online affairs. Whereas with my family, I have to handle everything. That is why please leave a list of
your accounts and passwords for your family and friends to have because at least I know that if something
happened to me, my friends who would have this information, would know what to do. I hope this post is helpful to you in organizing yourself online.
